Description
Oliver has given up on his passion for art. On a trip to the museum, he has been magically trapped in a Ukiyo-e painting and must find his way out. Help him navigate the beautiful world around him and change his perspective, literally. Solve puzzles, and overcome obstacles by changing the way you look at the world in third-person, top-down, and side.
